ABOUT US.

In what might almost be called a tradition, eight St. Paul’s School students will pedal across both a summer and a country in support of Ride 2 Recovery. Their journey from the Pacific to the Atlantic, ventured successfully by SPS cyclists in 2011 and 2013, will once again offer the riders 50 days of hard-fought vistas across the northern portion of the U.S. While the immediate goal will be surviving sequential saddle days, Rocky Mountain ridge lines, and the formidable headwinds of the Great Plains, the larger objective is to raise money to support a unique but bike-related veteran’s rehabilitation program. Since 2008, Ride 2 Recovery has been exploring and promoting cycling as an alternative method of therapy for PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. Cycling helps the healing process of our wounded heroes by offering both individualized physical goals and the much-needed emotional support of an active community to help everyone succeed. The diversity of the therapy options is limited only by the inclusion of a bicycle somewhere in the process. SPS Cyclists 2015 will undertake the epic journey beneath beautiful and spacious skies, from sea to shining sea, climbing purple mountains majesty above fruited plains, to crown our American heroes with brotherhood. A big challenge for us but a small way of saying thanks. We’d like you to join us on our ride, to feel every uphill pedal stroke and standstill headwind. We’d like you to saddle up and clip into the pedals as we crest the hills and race headlong into the valleys. We’d like to to ride alongside the veterans who join our peloton, to witness their struggles and honor their sacrifice. Those SPS students who’ve made this journey before us have described those as the most rewarding moments. We’d like you to do all of this and more from the comfort of your own kitchen table. Your donations help to heal our heroes and we do all the legwork. And from what we understand, the legwork is considerable. But the challenges faced by those we help are far greater. Join us today as we venture across the land we enjoy more freely because of their sacrifice.
